I have a XAMPP configuration on a WinXPProSP2 system.
I had the trio Apache, PHP and mySQL running smoothly, but since recently mySQL won't stay alive.
In my XAMPP Control screen I can start mySQL, it will indeed start up, but after some seconds it stops again.

Is there somewhere a logging file where I can see what circumstances cause mySQL to stop again? Or any other suggestion about whta I could do to keep mySQL in the air. The Apache server is doing fine, so no problem there.

The thing is: it is on my second pc that I don't use so often, so I haven't kept track what configuration changes may have occurred. I could of course remove XAMPP completely and do a re-install, but if I can avoid it, I would prefer that.
